Inflammation in Neuro-Psychiatric Disorders: A Themed Issue to Celebrate MDPI's 25th Anniversary

Neurons are excitatory cells permitting communication between all parts of our body. On the contrary, glial cells have an important role in different mechanisms, such as inflammation or oxidative stress, protecting the nervous system with the production of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory proteins and helping neurons to communicate with each other. Inflammatory mediators produced in inflammation are important to prevent changes in normal physiology after viral, bacterial, or other attack. In addition, both the pathophysiology and the symptomatology of many neurodegenerative and neurosychiatric disorders is influenced by the inflammation taking place from its own or from other comorbidities, both at central and peripheral levels. The excessive or continuous production of these mediators interferes with several pathways in many neurodegenerative and neurosychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, neurodevelopment disorders, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, among many others. This Special Issue is intended to serve as an approximation to the subject.
